Jim Hunt of using "surrogates" to smear Helms' expected re-election bid with "racism." Helms charged in a news release last week that the Rev. Jerry Drayton, a Winston-Salem minister and a member of the state Human Relations Board, is attempting to aid Gov. Hunt's expected senatorial bid in 1984 by implying that Helms may use racially-motivated tactics to defeat Hunt. 4'The smear of racism is being used all too often as a form of political terrorism -- the obvious purpose being to intimidate and hurt anyone who disagrees with liberals like Jesse Jackson and Jim Hunt?"4|elms said. i HOUSTON ? A national Jewish leader says that, while Jesse Jackson stirs 4'deep and justifiable concern" among Jews, his presidential candidacy should not be turned into a black-Jewish confrontation. Albert Vorspan of New York, vice president of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, told 3,000 ? delegates at the organization's biennial assembly last week, "Jesse Jackson will probably infuriate us, but his candidacy may just Jielp Joexposeahe-American -people to thereal world and the real conditions of our cities, our minority families, our youth, our elderly, our future." But some American Jews aren't viewing the situation in the same light as Vorspan. Bill Bans New IT S Rnci WASHINGTON - The first major victory of apartheid opponents came recently in Congress with the passage of a bill prohibiting new American investments in South Africa. t-ed by; Rep. William Gray, D-Pa., the legislation focuses on economic sanctions against the country, the flrft such legislation in five years. The resolution forbids new loans or extensiops of credit for the establishment of new business in South Africa, but does not affect existing businesses. . Meanwhile, the United Automobile Workers InternaFire Prevention How To Keep A S By THOMAS FL YNN Syndicated Columnist The fireplace season is upon us. Now's the time to make sure you've equipped, maintained and planned to use your fireplace wisely; after all, you don't want to use your whole house as a Yule log! Fireplace safety begins with equipment. Fortunately, the very equipment that keeps a fireplace safe tends to increase its energy efficiency as well. Of course, you need a strong grate to hold your logs in place. Today, there are logholders that not only keep logs from rolling about but blow heated air back into the house. The other important piece of fire safety equipment is a screen. Chain-mail and glass screens are both effective in keeping sparks from flying into the room, but glass screens are more energy-efficient. (Still, you're using one of the forced-air grates, you'll want a chain screen so that the hot air may move into your room). For full protection against sparks, it's good idea to in- , stall a fireproof rug outside the fireplace. Rugs that are as ornamental as they are effective are available through fireplace stores. Maintenance is the next key to fireplace safety - and fireplace safety equals chimney safety. Make sure your flue is in good condition, well-lubricated and easy to operate. It's bad business to start a fire with the flue clos9 briefs compiled by John Slade Attempt To Aid Hunt Helms continued: "Governor Hunt and the liberal media have obviously promoted Mr. Drayton's prejudiced and politically-motivated statement. It is they who are injecting race into this campaign by using his surrogates, including Mr. Drayton and the big-city liberal newspapers, to carry his negative campaign. While using his surrogates to call me a racist - because I opposed the Martin Luther King holiday - (Gov. Hunt) turns right around and piously proclaims that he hopes race will not be injected into the campaign.*' Dr. Drayton called Helms' allegations "a lot of bunk" and said he only wanted to prevent the issue of race being a factor in the 1984 campaign. Last week, a group called Jews Against Jackson placed an ad in The New York Times charging that Jacksoo is 4'a danger to American Jews, to the state of Israel and to America itself.*' The ad cites several instances of Jackson commenting on conflict between blacks and Jews and runs a photo of Jackson embracing Yasir Arafat, head of the Palestine Liberation Organization. But Vorspan compared the Jackson candidacy to that of John F. Kennedy in 1960 and said: "Jesse Jackson* challenges the white monopoly on the White House a*? JFK did the Protestant monopoly more than 20 years ago. In so doing, he will help achieve a more open society in which even the White House will soigeday become an equal opportunity employer." ness In S. Africa \ tional Union asked the trustees of the UAW-Chrysler pension fund to refrain from making any further investments in the securities of 10 U.S. corporations that have not endorsed the Sullivan Principles, which relate to employment policies in South Africa. Three weeks ago, the minority white population of South Africa voted in a new constitution that allows the country's Asians and people of mixed race to be represented by non-voting members in Parliament. South African blacks are still excluded from parliamentary representation. i n 11 ,ii i ' I : .J >afe Fireplace ed, to say the least. / * Periodic chimney maintenance is vital because a layer of flammable, oily creosote builds up inside a chimney after repeated use. This residue not only cuts the chimney's internal size and effective draft, but can fee ignited. You can't clean a chimney yourself. Even the most dedicated home handyman must bite the bullet and hire a chimney sweep. How do you fight a chimney fire? From the inside. Spray a large dry chemical fire extinguisher - after the fire in the fireplace has been extinguished - up the chimney. The chimney fire's updraft will suck extinguishing powder up the chimney's full height. All the same, it's a good idea to call the fire department, too, since a chimney fire is no laughing matter. It can ignite adjacent walls, ceilings and roofing and cause a chimney to collapse. Finally, to make your fireplace safe, you must use it correctly. Care in starting has a lot to do with that. If you use a built-in gas starter, be sure you have a long, lighted wick or match near the gas jet before you turn on the gas. Otherwise, you risk allowing a hazardous amount of gas to build up. If you use kindling and newspaper, make sure your screen is in place. Those newspapers can swirl Please see page A5 j r - ' v.
